    Hiking

    If you like castles, you'll like Wartburg Castle! Hardly any other castle is so connected to German history. The most famous overnight guests since its founding in 1067 by Ludwig the Springer were Martin Luther, Saint Elisabeth, Goethe, and Wagner. Wartburg Castle has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999.

    The inner courtyard is well worth seeing with the Palas, the cistern, its half-timbered buildings and the medieval castle garden. Everything is renovated and beautifully prepared.
